Grand Coral Beach Wedding location coordinated by Yazmin de la Mora
Bridal Guide calls The Riviera Maya a perfect “storybook setting for any destination wedding.” Brides and grooms tend to agree. The Riviera Maya Mexico is considered one of the top locations for destination weddings around the world. About 12,000 couples from North America alone choose to share their “I Dos” before the Mexican Caribbean’s turquoise, sapphire and emerald-colored sea each year.
A majority of these dream weddings are hosted in beautiful, luxurious resorts offering couples a plethora of options and styles for their idyllic beach wedding. But, what if couples are looking for a more intimate, non-resort setting for their celebration of love?
Here we’ve complied a list of more private, intimate venue options that are perched along the white sands and jewel-colored waters of The Riviera Maya:
